We doubt that there's a horde of wearable fans jonesing for Epson's second-gen Moverio glasses -- not after Google's one-day Glass sale, anyway -- but they're at last available, several weeks behind schedule. Spend $700 and the just-shipping BT-200...

Everyone with wrinkles on their brains knows that the book is almost always better than the movie. The book can do so much more! Your personal vision is only limited by your imagination! The little details and subtleties are allowed to breath better! These ads explain it rather perfectly saying, "a big part of the story is lost when it becomes a movie".

It's inevitable. You finally find that perfect pair of sunglasses that don't make you look like a dingus, convince yourself to lay out an absurd amount of money to buy them... And then you leave them in a public bathroom, never to be seen again. The folks at Tzukuri want to end that, with iBeacon-powered shades that send an alert to your iPhone when you leave them behind.

Not long ago, I vowed to review every 8-inch Windows tablet. That's partly because they're popular, sure, but there was another reason, too: Their specs are so similar that you'd have to actually use one to know which is best. In a field full of...

Apple's Eddy Cue and Craig Federighi will be guests at Re/code's first conference, Code, at the end of May. Cue is in charge of Apple's various internet services like iTunes and the App Store, while Federighi handles iOS and OS X.

When Twitter released its first earnings report earlier this year, one of the more distressing trends was that the company's user growth is slowing, and has been for the better part of a year. That's certainly not the kind of results you'd want from...

We've been hearing rumors about the fabled Apple iWatch and the mythical new Apple TV for what seems like an eternity and a half, and according to the latest report we're going to have to keep waiting. If you somehow thought that WWDC 2014 would see Apple showing off one or both of those, you're about to be let down.

Announcements at WWDC have for the past several years centered on software. This year is expected to be no different, with an overhauled OS X 10.10 'Syrah' and iOS 8 expected to play a starring role. Re/code's John Paczkowski's sources say that we shouldn't expect to see either piece of hardware, nor the software they'll be running, previewed next month:

Tim Cook will not use WWDC to unveil Apple's mythical wearable device. Nor will he use it to show off a new Apple TV, or even preview the new software the company is developing for it.

And that should come as little surprise. There will be plenty to cover between the two software updates, and the launch of an iWatch will no doubt be tied to the launch of the iPhone 6. And there's doubtless plenty of work left to be done on both the wearable and the TV. When they're ready they'll be ready, and not a moment sooner.

This science-fiction infomercial was made to raise awareness of the fact that bees—which are crucial for the survival of all species, including ours*—are dying all around the world. The fact is that this video isn't too far from the truth: bees may go extinct if we don't act promptly and scientists are already working on robotic replacements.
